        - message: "Full user's message"
        - searchQuery: "2-4 word search query for component examples"
      notes:
        - "Returns JSON data of matching components"
        - "Does not generate new code, only retrieves examples"
        - "Use when user wants to see examples or get inspiration"

        - absolutePathToRefiningFile: "Absolute path to file needing refinement"
        - context: "Specific UI elements and aspects to improve"
      notes:
        - "For improving existing components, not creating new ones"
        - "Triggered by /ui or /21 commands with refinement context"
        - "Returns redesigned version with implementation instructions"

    - id: logo_search
      description: "Search and return brand logos in specified format"
      parameters:
        - queries: "Array of company names to search for"
        - format: "Output format (JSX, TSX, or SVG)"
      notes:
        - "Triggered by /logo command or requests to add company logos"
        - "Supports single or multiple logo searches"
        - "Can return logos in different themes (light/dark) if available"
      examples:
        - "Single: queries: ['discord'], format: 'TSX'"

        - "Command: '/logo GitHub' → queries: ['github']"

  workflow:
    creating_component:
      - step: 1
        action: "User requests component (e.g., 'create a button' or '/ui button')"
      - step: 2
        action: "Call 21st_magic_component_builder with description"
      - step: 3
        action: "Receive component code snippet"
      - step: 4
        action: "Edit/add files to integrate snippet into codebase"

    refining_component:
      - step: 1
        action: "User requests improvement (e.g., '/ui improve this button')"
      - step: 2
        action: "Call 21st_magic_component_refiner with file path and context"
      - step: 3
        action: "Receive redesigned version"
      - step: 4
        action: "Apply changes to existing file"

    adding_logo:
      - step: 1
        action: "User requests logo (e.g., '/logo Discord' or 'add Discord logo')"
      - step: 2
        action: "Call logo_search with company name(s)"
      - step: 3
        action: "Receive logo component code"
      - step: 4
        action: "Integrate into project"

  best_practices:
    - "Use /ui or /21 prefix for explicit component requests"
    - "Provide clear, specific descriptions for better component generation"
    - "Use logo_search for brand logos rather than creating from scratch"
    - "Always integrate returned snippets into actual files"
    - "Use component_inspiration to explore options before building"
    - "Specify format (JSX/TSX) based on project setup"

  limitations:
    - "Tools only return code snippets, not complete files"
    - "Requires manual integration into codebase"
    - "Component quality depends on description clarity"
    - "Logo availability depends on 21st.dev database"
    - "May require styling adjustments for project theme"
